Voice of Addiction releases "Shinigami" off upcoming album

originally published: 05/15/2022


Voice Of Addiction are politically charged and socially conscious Chicago based punk-rockers. V.o.A. has been around since 2004 doing over 1,500 shows across North America. The new full-length “Divided States” is available August 5, 2022 and the first single "Shinigami" was released in April. 

"Every generation breeds courageous idealists who aren’t afraid to question the current status quo, and challenge the mounting social and political frustrations that many working-class citizens are experiencing in their lives. Such bold visionaries make up Voice of Addiction and inspire its latest record." - Shockya.com

The band has 8 official releases & independently sold over 10,000 physical copies (as well as being involved in countless compilations, and digital sales). V.o.A. has been featured in the video games skateboard party 1, 2, & 3 as well as snowboard party 1 & 2. A feature length documentary on V.o.A. entitled "Punk Band", directed by Bradley Pontecore, was released in 2018.
